Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings Kit — 8 Bearings with Spacers & Speed Washers, Pre-Lubed for Smooth Roll

Bones Reds Bearings are a high-value skateboard bearing set that delivers smooth, reliable roll with removable shields, pre-lubrication, and all hardware needed to outfit four wheels.

Designed as a performance-focused, budget-friendly alternative to premium competition bearings, Bones Reds balance durable materials and careful inspection to give skaters consistent speed and long service life without the premium price. Each kit comes ready to install: eight precision bearings, four aluminum spacers, and eight speed washers, plus basic instructions and a Bones sticker. The parts and design focus on low friction, easy maintenance, and compatibility with standard skateboard setups.

What makes Bones Reds faster than generic bearings?

Bones Reds use ground chromium steel races and balls plus a high-speed nylon retainer that reduces internal friction. The single, removable rubber shield keeps debris out without contacting the race, and the included Speed Cream lubricant helps bearings spin freely right out of the box.

• Precision-ground steel balls and races for smooth contact
• Removable non-contact red rubber shield for lower friction
• High-speed nylon ball retainer for stable ball alignment
• Pre-lubricated with Bones Speed Cream for immediate performance

How do I clean and maintain these bearings for lasting performance?

Bones Reds are engineered with removable shields to make periodic cleaning straightforward. You can take the shield off, flush contaminants with a suitable bearing cleaner, dry completely, and re-lube lightly with bearing oil or Speed Cream to restore optimal spin.

• Remove red shield gently and clean with solvent if needed
• Dry bearings thoroughly before relubricating
• Reinstall shields and use speed washers and spacers when mounting
• Regular inspection prevents grit-related wear and extends life

Will these fit my skateboard wheels and trucks?

Yes—Bones Reds follow standard skateboard bearing dimensions and fit virtually all common wheels and truck axles. This package contains eight bearings, eight speed washers, and four bearing spacers so you can equip one complete set of four wheels with correct spacing and washer protection.

• Standard 608 bearing size fits most skateboard wheels
• Includes four spacers to maintain correct axle spacing for bearing life
• Speed washers reduce axle friction and protect shield edges
• Instructions included for proper installation and orientation

How do Bones Reds compare to Bones Swiss and other upgrades?

Bones Reds are engineered to deliver much of the dependable performance of higher-priced bearings at a fraction of the cost. While premium bearing lines may use different metallurgy or tighter tolerances, Reds provide a strong balance of speed, durability, and value for everyday skating and many advanced riders.

• Lower price point than premium Swiss models, with solid performance
• Built to Bones Skate Rated standards for skate-specific demands
• Removable shields and pre-lubrication make them easy to use and maintain
• Inspected twice during production for consistent quality

Who is this for: Bones Reds are aimed at street skaters, park riders, commuters, and anyone seeking reliable, fast bearings without the higher cost of elite competition models. If you want bearings that are easy to maintain, compatible with standard wheels, and include spacers and washers for correct setup, this kit is a practical choice for outfitting one skateboard or carrying as a spare parts set.
